If you are looking for an epic, absurdly entertaining tale, look no further. Boatmurdered is an Aeneid of LP stories, a classic. Start with the Introduction if you don't know what Dwarf Fortress is, but with a bit of imagination you get it very quick.

PS. I would also like to tag this gaming but can't if I want to participate in tag of the week. Not sure if that's a site flaw or competition flaw.... [edit:] thanks whoever tagged it gaming! <3

Can't not read it. It's amazing.

And as someone who HAS played Dwarf Fortress, I can only say this: for anyone who doubts that it could happen, this is actually pretty tame as far as what could happen.
